This paper presents a worldsheet theory describing holomorphic maps to twistor space with N fermionic directions. The theory is anomaly free when N=8. Via the Penrose transform, the vertex operators correspond to an N=8 Einstein supergravity multiplet. In the first instance, the theory describes gauged supergravity in AdS_4. Upon taking the flat space, ungauged limit, the complete classical S-matrix is recovered from worldsheet correlation functions.

  1. Schwarzschild black holes from twistor space

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    The Schwarzschild metric is derived as a Kähler metric on a holomorphic 'coincidence locus' within the twistor space of self-dual Taub-NUT, solving the googly problem for this specific spacetime.

    A supertwistor-based 10D ambitwistor string is built and shown, in light-cone gauge, to reproduce the tree amplitudes of the RNS ambitwistor string.
